There was a screech and then a spurt of blood as the ola collapsed and the others went back into cover. By others, Jace meant all of them. All of the enemies that are wearing Shadows' armor hid behind cover.
Before Jace could react, Nila dashed down the hall straight toward the nearest one. Jace groaned and ran toward the second nearest one. Nila managed to get to the enemy before they realized what was going on. She proceeded to pull out the enemy's knife and stab them several times with it. Disabling the shielding and then killing them.
Jace was almost to his target when he felt a scorching across his midsection and then felt another scorch against the side of his face. The second one he even spotted at the last moment but was moving too slow to react to. But as it hit his head he could feel part of the side of his skin on his head melt off, likely showing off the meatiness underneath.
